Attacks on campus ignite student fear
Sarah J . B e ll
Asst. News Editor
Away from urban settings like Phoenix
and Tucson. NAU students should worry
less about personal safety, right? After all,
NAU is located in a small city.
But students, faculty and staff a*e dis­covering
the crime problems in Flagstaff
and on the Mountain Campus are some­thing
affecting them more than they antici­pated.
According to the student survey con­ducted
in 2000, the NAU Police Department
determined the major community concerns
are crimes against property and personal
safety.
A female student was sexually assaul ted
on campus in December. Car break-ins con­tinue
and. Last Friday, a femak- student was
robbed of her purse.
Last week, three people, who have no
affiliation with the university, entered three
separate residence halls through propped
cioors. No crimes were committed, with the
exception of trespassing charges, but resi­dents
of Sechrist. Ra ymond and Peterson
halls were ail put at risk
As police continue the investigation to
find the two suspects who stok* the purse
from the student, Paul Sorenson, NAUPD
publx information officer, reminds stu­dents
that criminals must have intent, target
and opportunity to commit their crimes.
Sorenson said students can increase
their safety through the choices they make.
This includes locking dorm room doors,
walking in groups at night, being aware of
surroundings and not propping residence
hall doors.
Use of personal safety devices such as
pepper spray and knives with blades small­er
than three* inches are kgal personal
choices on campus.
"People who use these devices sh<uild
be trained. It is important to remember that
any weapon used for personal protection
can be turned or used against you by an
offender," Sorenson said.

David Scherman, a member of the Flagstaff Justice and Peace Coalition, participated in the Martin Luther King Jr. Day march across
campus Monday. The coalition was formed just after the Sept. 11 attacks in hopes of educating the public.
Athletic inquiry
Holton, coaches, deny knowledge
of Pisa Magele's prior record
Class focusing on war on terrorism
Donna C a st illo
Staff R eporter
In wake of the Sept. 11 attacks., questions about terrorism and ter­rorists
have never been more prominent. American citizens have
never been more cautious than they are today.
As a result, students at colleges and universities are overflowing
into classes and courses dealing with religions, cultures and terror­ism.
After the attacks, students flocked into classes such as War and
Peace in the 21st Century, religion, politics, and Terrorism and
Intelligence.
Here at NAU, students are taking advantage of a new course
instructed by Professor Warren "Bud" Day: Understanding the War
on Terrorism (POS 599). «
Day has been at NAD smce 1995. Prior to teaching at NAU, he
spent 24 years overseas in southern Africa and southern Asia work­ing
with underprivileged communities.
Also, he teaches courses in environmental health for undergradu­ates.
Day was asked to teach the POS 599 class because of his back­ground
in dealing with underprivileged countries, as well as his
background in international issues.
Three departments helped to implement the "Understanding the
War on Terrorism" class. Master liberal sciences initiated the pro­gram,
along with co-sponsors, the criminal justice department and
•the political science department.
There were two reasons for adding this course to the curriculum.
One obvious reason was the Sept. 11 attacks. "The Sept. 11 attacks
were horrendous," Day said. "We need to do what we can to under­stand.”
Another reason for implementing this class was to create a better
understanding of the United States' response going after Osama Bin
Laden and those deemed responsible for the attacks. Day said that
the responses made by the United States are subject to a lot of critiq ue
and need more information.

The athletic department's
background check is suppos'd
to happen dunng recruitment,
so how could a f«x>tball player
with a criminal record be
brought to play at NAU on an
a th letic sch< )larship?
Pisa Magele is being held in
the Coconino County |ail on
$200/100 bail The charges that
he raped an NAU student on
campus Dec. U> will be tried Jan
2H in Superior Court
Magele was on probation
while playing football at Eastern
Arizona College in Thatcher, and
remained so when recruited to
play football for MAU.
While NAU officials will not
admit that they knew about
Magele's status, the athletic
director is not discounting the
possibility that someone may
have known about it.
" I was not aware of the prev 1-
ous felony," said Steve Holton,
director of athletics at NAU.
'"That's not to say that the coach­es
hadn't heard about it, but I
was not aware of it.”
Attempts to reach football
coach Jerome Souers have been
made since last Wednesday, but
he has been involved with
recruiting both locally and on
the road, and has not yet
responded to The Lumberjack.
Associate Coach David
Stromswold said the coaching
staff is not allowed to talk about
Magele, and that includes
Souers.
"There's nothing we can say
about any part of the deal nght
now with it,” Stromswold said,
"and you know, it's just the
stance of the school, and it's
Pisa's right. And until every­thing
is done, that's just where
we're at."
Stromswold said he did not
recruit Magele at the time, but
would not say who did.
Magele, 22, had previously
been convicted of a class six
felony and sentenced to proba­tion
tor events that < iccurred Oct.
3, 19SK, in which he threw a rock
through the window of his
father's truck.
Holton said cost factors are
involved with the athletic
department's ability to perform
background searches because of
the high number of student-ath-keterecruits.
He said coaches rvl>

associated to the recruits, such as
coaches, family and counselors,

"In a lot of cases we don't
have the time," Holton said.
The recruiting process is a very
short, concise peritxl of time.
You have just a certain number
of days in which to decide if
you're going to bring an athlete
to campus."
The NCAA recruitment
process lasts seven days for
every athlete
Steve Shaff, director of sports
information, said the recruit­ment
process is the informal
background check. Shaff said
there are HO to 90 football players
and 11 coaches, which leaves
roughly eight players per coach
to cover background checks.
Shaff said there is no depart­ment
policy regarding back­ground
checks of student-ath-letes
for cnminal activity, and
would not comment on w hether
anyone in the department knew
